Meet Luca, a beautiful black friesian welsh cross gelding. That’s probably the most one of a kind horse we have ever had in the barn!
Luca is what everyone dreams of having with the fanciness of a Friesian and the work ethic and temperament of a Welsh and can lope/canter like a quarter horse. He’s stocky enough for any adult to ride but small enough to not be intimidating for kids to ride.
Luca will walk, trot, canter in any tack in any situation and rides like a 16 hand horse and absolutely will go where you point him! He is not a deadhead but is very mindful and listens to absolutely everything the rider asks. Whether you want to show ridden dressage, western dressage, ranch horse, or any form of driving Luca absolutely has the talent and brain to do any of it and turn heads in any discipline or direction you take him. My 14 year old student can ride him alone anywhere without any issues. He is perfectly behaved in the barn in crossties, wash rack, for the farrier, for clipping, etc. He is an easy keeper with no special maintenance required and a fun horse to have in the barn. You can keep him in a stall or turn him out and he’s happy wherever and gets along well with other horses or by himself.
He is the type of horse that you can put into a jog that’s easy to sit on a loose rein or you can push him forward into a big moving trot for dressage and he does it with ease. You can throw just about anything at this guy and he really doesn’t care he is just the type of horse that loves having something to do.
If you are looking for an amazing addition to the family trail riding partner or any kind of show ring Luca will not disappoint.
Luca was bred and raised at my cousin’s family farm and has always had the best of care and has a super foundation under his belt to go on and do whatever you choose.
Watch him ride & drive:
